Now I thought about simply deleting everything in Google Photos and letting the upload go one more time to clean it out, but I also have photos coming in from other sources (my phones), so deleting everything would remove these pictures as well and that's simply not an option. After installing the application and pointing it to the drive's new location, it looks like it re-uploaded the entire hard drive a second time (8,000 photos give or take) effectively duplicating nearly all files in my Google Photos account. I was really hoping the upload app would be smart enough to only upload new photos, but it looks like I gave Google a little too much good faith. Since doing this I added a few new folders of photos into the photo backup and realized yesterday that I hadn't installed the photo uploading application on my main PC yet so the new photos weren't being uploaded. The server recently died on me and I decided to just put the hard drive I use to back up my photos into my main PC. My library was previously stored on a network server (windows) and I had the photo uploading application configured on that machine. I have my entire photo library uploaded to Google Photos (original size).
